Why use FNDCPASS and not Alter command

FNDCPASS is used to change in application users' password
I was told that if we logon to db and use "Alter user identified by password", this change wont be reflected to applications...
Is this true? what exactly happens in these two cases?
Need ur help....
Regards
Bipin

Once You change the password using FNDCPASS...it will change the password in all
places...it will take careWhen changing the password for APPS using FNDCPASS, you need to run AutoConfig
If your system is NOT AutoConfig enabled, you need to change change the APPS password in the following files manually:
1. $ORACLE_HOME/listener/cfg/wdbsvr.app file as well. (Otherwise users will not
be able to login to the Personal Home Page or Self-service web apps.) This may also be necessary in the $IAS_ORACLE_HOME\Apache\modplsql\cfg\wdbsvr.app file
2. Workflow Notification Mailer - $FND_TOP/resource/wfmail.cfg
3. The concurrrent manager start script.
4. $OA_HTML/bin/appsweb.cfg
5. $AD_TOP/admin/template/CGIcmd.dat may contain the password if it is being used.

Using NULL and NOT NULL in prompted filters

Dear all,
While trying to grap the concept of prompted filters in sap bo web intelligence, I had a question whether why we cannot use NULL and NOT NULL while creating a prompted filters in our report.

HI,
'Is Null' and 'Not Null' are the predefined functions in webi which only eliminate the null values or considering only null values.
'Is Null' and 'Not Null' are itself predefined functions that why you are not getting prompts.
Null values are standard across the databases so this is defined as a function in webi to specific eliminate the null values.
If something is not standard then there is option in the webi to use different operator with static values or with prompts.
More more information on Null see the Null wiki page.

Using an "if not exists" command with a folder on an SMB share

I'm trying to use an "if not exists" command on a folder which is stored on a mounted smb share..
This part of my script is supposed to check if a folder exists and;
If it does - Skip to the next part of the script
If it doesn't - Create the folder.
At the moment it either errors saying that the folder doesn't exist or doesn't create the folder.
I can get this script to work fine using local folder paths but I want to do it on an SMB share..
Here's my script.
Many thanks in advance.
Martin
set username to (do shell script "whoami")
set Media to " Media Files"
mount volume "smb://172.22.8.23/macmedia$"
tell application "Finder"
if not (exists ("smb://172.22.8.23/macmedia$/" & username as text) & Media as text) then
make new folder at "macmedia$" with properties {name:(username as text) & Media as text}
end if
end tell
tell application "Finder"
set mnt to ("smb://172.22.8.23/macmedia$/" & username as text) & Media as text
try
mount volume mnt
end try
eject "macmedia$"
end tell

Hi Camelot,
Thanks a lot for that the script's working as it should now..
I'm still having intermittent problems on some clients where it will only map the root volume "macmedia$" and freeze there.. This is a problem as they can then see and access everyone elses folders from there.
Do you know of a better/cleaner way to do what I'm trying to acheive? All i'm after is mapping an additional drive for student's so they can save larger files to our media server within their own folders.
Is there a way of checking if a folder exisits within an smb share without mounting the volume? Just trying to think outside of the box a bit..
Here's my new script;
set username to (do shell script "whoami") & " Media" as text
mount volume "smb://172.22.8.23/macmedia$"
tell application "Finder"
          if not (exists folder username of disk "macmedia$") then
make new folder at disk "macmedia$" with properties {name:username as text}
          end if
end tell
tell application "Finder"
          set mnt to ("smb://172.22.8.23/macmedia$/" & username as text)
          try
mount volume mnt
          end try
          eject "macmedia$"
end tell

Why the step-and-repeat function (command+d) isn't working in Illustrator CS5?

Why the step-and-repeat function (command+d) isn't working in Illustrator CS5?
I am trying this. Take an object, move it some inches on the right while holding the option key, so I duplicate it.
Usually, I pressed on command+d to duplicate this action on and on (duplicate the object and moving it some inches away), but now it is not working.
any idea?

kwakoo,
It may be time for the list:
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Why using BefferedReder and PrintWriter if we have Input/OutputStream

hi
i've been wondering if we have an InputStream and OutputStream why using PrintWriter and BufferedReader
                in=s.getInputStream();
                out=s.getOutputStream();
                bfr=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
                writer=new PrintWriter(out,true);where s ia a socket

Everything that is a InputStream/OutputStream is used to handle raw byte streams.
Everything that is a Reader/Writer is used to handle character data.
In your case the InputStreamReader provides the conversion from raw bytes to character data. Usually it does so using some specified encoding, in your case it uses your platform default encoding.
The PrintWriter does the same for the output, but doesn't allow you to specify an encoding (for this you'd have to use an OutputStreamWriter).
And please note, that it's usually an error to do any byte -> character or character -> byte conversion without specifying a character set, especially when handling sockets, because then the platform default encoding will be used which can be different from computer to computer and thus you don't know what exactly is sent over the wire.

How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.

Unfortunately you have taken an Apple product outside of the area where Apple currently does business. There isn't legally a way around this. Apple cannot license apps to you where you currently live.

Is there a way to do a spelling quiz in captivate using images and not questions as reference.

Is there a way to do a spelling quiz in captivate using images and not questions as reference. Specifically i want have blank lines underneath an image, where the user looks at the image and types the correct letters to fill in the blank. For example a picture of a dog, with this _ _ _ underneath for the user to fill in, or in some cases perhaps having them fill in the vowel like so "d_g".I must have audio with this , as the students will be able to listen to the audio sound out the word phonetially to help them be able to type it!
Appreciate any advice! Cheers!

Why is it better to use Proxies and not adapters

When I connect 2 systems via XI, i can use proxies (if supported by the external systems) or adapters.
The general view of SAP is that I should use (JAVA or ABAP) proxies where possible, and not adapters.
Why are these "better" than file adapter or idoc adapter (monitoring, error handling, performance, ?????).
thanks,
Jan

As received from SAP :
Proxies support both Synchronous and Async. Connectivity - ALE/IDOC is only Async.
Proxies don't use standard IDOCS, but what you decide to use in the proxy def. on SAP side.
Proxies are only supported on 6.20 onwards.
I would use IDOC adapters for standard IDOCS - and if no ABAB knowledge is available for maintenance.
If there is a standard ALE scenario available - I would use it (eg. Masterdata replication).
If ABAB is already extensively used in the organisation and they are running 6.20+ - I would use proxies.
I would always prefer proxies for Synch. Communication - instead of RFC (if running 6.20+).

If I turn off iMessages on my iphone 5 and only use SMS, I am hoping this will this stop ALL my messages going to partners ipad? I only want 2 use SMS and not have any of my messages go to partners ipad so dont want to alter ipad settings.

My situtation is this, my soon to be ex previously set up an ipad with both our numbers and we share a linked itunes/icloud account so if my phone is off he gets all my messages via his ipad that I DO NOT have access to his ipad at ALL. I can't set up my own itunes account (not yet until I leave him) otherwise he will know I am leaving him and it will cause major problems. So I was hoping that if I turn off iMessages on my iphone 5 and just talk to my family via SMS and NOT touch his precious ipad mini, that he wont be able to get my messages anymore and if I turn off iCloud storage and back up as well on my iphone only. Is this correct? Its just a temporary solution I am hoping. I have searched for days and hours and I just cant find this answer anywhere....
Do I HAVE to turn off my phone number off or delete it on his ipad? I am really hoping I can just do this at my own end and not touch his ipad in anyway or have to change my itunes id YET. Once I leave him shortly, I will create a whole new ID etc. I just wanna know if I can do this myself on my iphone only. Please any experienced help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much.

Its just a temp thing and I just want to take action myself on my own phone and want to know if this will work. Does anyone know?
SMS messages will not go to the iPad Mini. It's not capable of receving them. If you have access and can do it without it causing a problem, remove your iPhone from the Apple ID Support profile:
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Log in if not already logged in.
Click on "Edit Products"
Click on the "X" to the right of the product.
Click "Unregister"
If anyone in your family uses iMessage, they will go to both you and your boyfriend unless you do that.
To be completely safe, you may want to simply use an alternate message app such as Skype, Viber, Whatsapp (assuming everyone has a smartphone) until the issue is resolved. Google Voice will also allow you to send and receive texts to another number on your phone.
Best of luck.

Using X11 and Fink/Fink Commander to run Compiz Fusion?

Hi! One of my friends who loves Ubuntu Linux showed me some weird app called Compiz Fusion and im like ooo... i wanna play wiht that. And I remembered that OS X had a way of installing Linux apps.. so I downloaded the .tar of compiz fusion and I also downloaded and installed Fink and Fink Commander for OS X 10.5.2 but um.. yeah Im not very good with running terminal and junk.. I was following directions so I checked my list of app packages Fink could install in Terminal but either I didnt see compiz or it came up as a name I didnt understand.. does anyone here have experience running X11 and Fink? Or if you have a link where I can teach myself X11 and Fink that would work too! Thanks in advance!

Not to worry. I would lose interest long before that happened
I didn't knock OSX except to point out an actual bug with X11.
But it is not a bug with OSX if some 3rd party tool is not compatible. It is a Mac, not a Linux workstation. If you want to run Linux on it, you can install Linux on it. The Mac has its own window manager designed to allow most X11 apps run and not look too bad alongside the Mac apps. It really is a design feature.
Personally, I like both.
I like UNIX - a lot. But I'm not too fond of Linux. It is for people who do want to build their own machines out of components. I'm a software person, not a hardware person. That doesn't interest me in the least. As a software person, I have little interest in developing software for Linux because every single Linux box is unique. That is a hassle I don't want to deal with. That is why I like MacOS X so much - all the power of Solaris with the beauty and easy-of-use of a Mac.
In the past there were tons of issues doing linux installs, and linux was fairly labeled as finicky and difficult. By the same token, when I was trying to upgrade to Leopard recently, I got a warning that my only option was "erase and install".
You lucked out. Erase and install is the best way to install a major OS upgrade.
No other options, no explanation why, no suggestions for fixing it -- it was as mysterious as a Linux install from 1999, albeit with a much prettier formatting error message.
In 1999, I didn't even get that much from Linux. The X server just crashed as soon as the install was done and took the boot partition with it - reinstall from scratch. I have VectorLinux running in Parallels, but I never use it.

Why use cursor and for loop?

Hi All
So in general why would we use a cursor and a for loop to do update in a stored procedure?
Why wouldnt we just use a single update statement ?
is there compelling reason for using a cursor and a for loop: I am reading some code from a co-worker that the business logic for the select (set need to be updated) is complex but the update logic is simple (just set a flag to (0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4).
But eventually the select come down to a key (row_id) so I re-write it using just a single sql statement.
The size of the main table is about 2.6 to 3million rows
Any thoughts on that??
The code below I just do a google for cursor for update example in case for something to play with
-Thanks for all your input
create table f (a number, b varchar2(10));
insert into f values (5,'five');
insert into f values (6,'six');
insert into f values (7,'seven');
insert into f values (8,'eight');
insert into f values (9,'nine');
commit;
create or replace procedure wco as
cursor c_f is
    select a,b from f where length(b) = 5 for update;
    v_a f.a%type;
    v_b f.b%type;
begin
open c_f;
loop
    fetch c_f into v_a, v_b;
    exit when c_f%notfound;
    update f set a=v_a*v_a where current of c_f;
end loop;
close c_f;
end;
exec wco;
select * from f;
drop table f;
drop procedure wco;

Adding my sixpence...
PL/SQL is not that different from a SQL perspective than any other SQL client language like Java or C# or C/C++. PL/SQL simply integrates the 2 languages a heck of a lot better and far more transparent than the others. But make no mistake in that PL/SQL is also a "client" language from a SQL perspective. The (internal) calls PL/SQL make to the SQL engine, are the same (driver) calls made to the SQL engine when using Java and C and the others.
So why a cursor and loops in PL/SQL? For the same reason you have cursors and loops in all these other SQL client languages. There are the occasion that you need to pull data from the SQL engine into the local language to perform some very funky and complex processing that is not possible using the SQL language.
The danger is using client cursor loop processing as the norm - always pulling rows into the client language and crunching it there. This is not very performant. And pretty much impossible to scale. Developers in this case views the SQL language as a mere I/O interface for reading and writing rows. As they would use the standard file I/O read() and write() interface calls.
Nothing could be further from the truth. SQL is a very advance and sophisticated data processing language. And it will always be faster than having to pull rows to a client language and process them there. However, SQL is not Turing complete. It is not the procedural type language that most other languages we use, are. For that reason there are things that we cannot do in SQL. And that should be the only reason for using the client language, like PL/SQL or the others, to perform row crunching using a client cursor loop.
